The past few weeks have been crazy at work and we have been traveling every weekend. I have enjoyed seeing people and doing some fun things; I have even enjoyed most of my crazy workdays. However, you get to a point eventually where you are ready to stop and rest, take a moment to breathe, and relax. I am definitely at that point today and I am very grateful for a weekend at home. We do have some things on the calendar that need to be done, but nothing that will hinder my relaxation. :-)
Something that our society is missing is a true sabbath. Even at church we have Sundays FULL of meetings and events, keeping us away from a peaceful day of rest and meditation. I am certainly guilty of packing my schedule so full that I feel like I will never be able to stop and sit and take a moment to be thankful for what I have. (That is what this blog is all about, after all.) But I hope that I can keep in mind the need to pause, pray, and rest in the love that Christ so generously offers to all of us. His love is the key to our sabbath: taking time to give thanks for it, accept it, and share it with others.
